Here's what a few of my YTT graduates have said:

"I took Staci's teacher training in 2017 and it literally changed my life. I had been looking into training for a couple of years, and nothing seemed to be the right fit. I happened to be taking yoga classes from Staci when she announced that she would be doing a training, and I jumped at the chance.

From day one, it was obvious that, above all, she wanted nothing more than for her students to succeed. Every single piece of information she gave us was obviously well-researched and came from a place of passion. She is a yoga nerd in every sense, and the depths of love and appreciation for the practice come across clearly in every word, every handout, every breath.

You will come out of your training with the skills you need to be able to teach a well-rounded class at every skill level, but, most of all, you will come out of it with deeper depths and appreciation for the practice that become entrenched in you forever. Even if you never teach a yoga class going forward, your own relationship with yoga will be deeper and more fulfilling. Just sign up already. You won't regret it." - S.T.

"Taking my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Staci was one of my most significant life experiences, ever. Staci is a wealth of yoga knowledge wrapped in pure joy. Her ability to distill 20 years of yoga teaching skils, into a fun, challenging, and approachable learning experience, was simply incredible. Im so thankful I had the opportunity to learn from such an amazing teacher. Our yoga trainiing weekends were awesome. I miss them!" - C.S.

"Let me start by saying that my yoga teacher training with Staci was AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. I had already learned so much from studying with her for ten years. But I had no idea how much more I would learn from her training! And I had no idea how thirsty it would make me to continue to learn!

Staci lovingly and thoughtfully prepared for each session. We not only learned about yoga poses, including their history and meaning, but we learned about anatomy, yoga history, The Yoga Sutras, Chakras, how to sequence a class , modifications (chair yoga, pregnancy yoga), theming, chanting, deities, mudras, mantras, pranayama, meditation......are you getting the idea?! We learned such a wonderful and vast amount of information making me feel more well rounded, not only as a yoga teacher, but as a person.

Staci had high expectations for each of us and created the space for us to feel well supported and prepared. Our yoga weekends are something that I hold dear in my heart.

I will never be able to adequately say enough about how much this training meant to me and how it changed my life. Staci is truly a gem in the yoga community." - G.D.

"I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn and complete my 200 hr yoga teacher training with Staci Curry!!! It truly has changed my life and I will forever be grateful for the experience!

Staci was encouraging, supportive, and a teaching superstar every step of the way!!! She challenged us and pushed us past our comfort zones to help us become the best new teachers possible.

I was hesitant when I started, not knowing if I actually wanted to learn more for my own personal practice or to eventually teach. After completing the training, I can confidently say that I accomplished both. I learned so much that has helped me grow personally and am now also teaching classes. If you are on the fence, but interested....I say dive in!!! Chaturanga...and lead with your heart!!!" - S.S
